SSB Bypass Framing Slide-Clip Strut Connector
Product Details
The SSB connector is a versatile strut connector that is commonly used at the bottom of a steel beam to accommodate large standoff conditions. It accommodates 1" of upward and 1" of downward movement.
Material
- 54 mil (16 ga.)
Finish
- Galvanized (G90)
Installation
- Use the specified type and number of anchors.
- Use the specified number of XLSH34B1414 #14 shouldered screws (included). Install shouldered screws in the slots adjacent to the No-Equal® stamp.
- Use a maximum of one screw per slot.
- If the SSB intrudes on interior space, it can be trimmed. The trimmed part shall allow an edge distance from the center of the nearest anchor to the end of the trimmed part of 1/2" or greater.

Load Tables
SSB Allowable Connector Loads (lb.)
- When the SSB connector is used with two shouldered screws, the screws may be installed in any two slots.
- Allowable loads are based on clips installed with (3) #12–24 screws in the anchor leg. For other anchorage installations, the capacity of the connection system will be the minimum of the tabulated value and the allowable load from the SSB Allowable Anchorage Loads table below.
- The maximum standoff for SSB with (2) screws and (3) screws is 12 1/4" and 11", respectively.
SSB Allowable Anchorage Loads (lb.)
- For additional important information, see Innovative Solutions for Curtain-Wall Framing.
- Allowable loads are for clip anchorage only. The capacity of the connection system will be the minimum of the tabulated value and the allowable load from the SSB Allowable Connector Loads table above.
